I'm still working through my pictures of the grounds of the Chateau des Alpilles in St. Remy in Provence. The grounds had these gorgeous huge trees that must have been hundreds of years old, they were just very impressive and very beautiful.

On another note, it's summer time and we're going on vacation! I won't be blogging for a few weeks and when I get back, I know I will be excited and ready to get back to painting! Hope you're all having a great summer!

This is another painting from St. Remy in Provence. The hotel which is called Chateau des Alpilles is beautiful and I loved the sun coming through the gigantic trees and making all these shadows on the ground and on the front of the hotel. It's a very old grand house with tall doors and beautiful interiors. In the evening, they set up tables and chairs right in the front courtyard and serve dinner.

This is a commission I did for a friend of mine for Father's day. This was from a picture taken on one of their trips. I think the colors of the sunset reflecting in the water are just beautiful!

On another note, the kids are on vacation now and I'm wondering when I'm going to have time to paint...it'll be so easy to get busy with all the other stuff going on...I'm going to have to set a schedule and I haven't done that in years!!!! Anyone have any suggestions?

I'm so excited that these two paintings have been juried into the first annual "Women's Art Liberation" show at the Richeson School of Art and Gallery in Kimberly, WI. Proceeds will benefit the Harbor House a Domestic Abuse Program. The exhibit will be open to the public July 10th, 2012 to August 24, 2012. If you're in the area, make sure to check it out! Also, if you're a woman artist over the age of 18, there's still time to enter! Deadline is June 20th.

About Me

I started my journey as an artist about 8 years ago. First drawing charcoal portraits and then moving into painting with acrylics and eventually oil. After studying Classical Training at the Academy of Fine Art in Denmark, Wisconsin, for 2 1/2 years, I have taken a break to do an expat assignment with my family in Germany. I will be discovering many of Europe's beautiful landmarks and history and painting in the process! Thank you for visiting my blog and I hope you will come back often!
